Los Angeles, CA - Eleven diverse independent artists have been selected to receive support from the 2017 Sundance Institute | Time Warner Foundation Fellowship. These Fellowships and accompanying grants are part of the non-profit Institute's year-round efforts to discover and support independent artists from diverse backgrounds in getting their work made and seen by a wide audience.
The program includes support for Fellows working in new media, documentary and narrative film, theatre and film music as well as from the Institute's Native American and Indigenous Program. Fellows receive year-round support from the Institute ranging from attendance at an annual Lab, mentoring, strategic granting, attendance at the Sundance Film Festival and participation in screenplay readings, work-in-progress screenings and related programs and events.

Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute, said, Since 2007 the careers of talented and diverse artists supported by our program with the Time Warner Foundation have flourished. This years gifted class of Fellows bring boundless creativity and potential, and we look forward to continuing to help them develop their craft.
Lisa Garcia Quiroz, President of Time Warner Foundation, said, We remain very proud of our innovative partnership with Sundance Institute. With Sundance's trailblazing work of identifying, nurturing and celebrating talented storytellers in Hollywood and beyond, we are working together to promote a more inclusive artistic landscape.
